An overview of surgical and nonsurgical solutions for hypertrophic and keloid scars.

Scars are inevitable when the skin is cut. But the types of scars that bring patients to a plastic surgeon’s office vary widely. You may see traumatic scars, burn scars or surgical scars that have become widened, raised, hyperpigmented or hypervascular. In some of the most difficult cases, patients may experience keloid scars that continue to grow and disfigure.
